Text Width change does not update Height

Revit
1

I’m changing the width on text and then trying to get the new height. However, the height doesn’t change until after all the Dyanmo nodes have run. See two lists from code below. both oldHeight and newHeight area the same. I’m guessing Dyanmo’s transaction manager isn’t “really” committing the changes on TransactionTaskDone?

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

#from Autodesk.Revit.DB import Transaction
#t = Transaction(doc, 'Name')
#t.Start()

for i in myElements:
oldHeight.append(i.Height)
i.Width = width
i.HorizontalAlignment = Autodesk.Revit.DB.HorizontalTextAlignment.Left
newElems.append(i)

uidoc.RefreshActiveView()
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

#t.Commit
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

for i in newElems:
myOut.append([i.ToDSType(True), i.Height, i.Coord.ToPoint(), i.Coord.X, i.Coord.Y, i.Coord.Z])
newHeight.append(i.Height)

uidoc.RefreshActiveView()
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = myOut, oldHeight, newHeight

Solved.
Needed A ForceCloseTransaction to make sure the height was updated.
